In the past few days from the registration to the beginning of the assessment, Zhao Lengfei has been staying in the inn room to make the final preparations according to his father's requirements, and he hardly walked out of the room, while his father went out every day to inquire about the news of the apprenticeship assessment, and after a few days, both father and son have gained a lot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Judging from the news inquired, the assessment of the young disciples this time should be divided into three items, the first two are nothing more than the assessment of the applicant's mental perseverance and martial arts skills, and the last assessment is a hodgepodge of brawl.

A few days ago, the qualification review when signing up is also an assessment, the qualification requirements of the young disciples are very high, just registering, it brushes off 978% of the applicants, and the qualifications of the teenagers who can sign up successfully are not bad, so the next three assessments focus on testing the perseverance and mind of the teenagers.

Regarding Zhao Lengfei's qualifications, his father didn't tell him anything specifically, but just said something that you will naturally know when the time comes, since his father refused to say it, he had his own reason, Zhao Lengfei understood this, so he didn't continue to ask.

Five days passed in a flash, and in the early morning of this day, the father and son got up early, and Zhao Qingshuang asked his son to take off the weight-bearing leggings, wrist pads, and shoulder pads that had been tied to his body for half a year.

As soon as these heavy objects left his body, Zhao Lengfei suddenly had a feeling that his body was light and fluttering, and he wanted to float, which made him want to jump a few times, or go out and run a few laps.

"Hail, you must go all out in this assessment, and there is no need to carry these burdens on your body."

Zhao Qingshuang helped his son take care of his clothes, and instructed: "Those teenagers from the Xiuzhen family are not simple, although they are all quasi-first-class martial artists like you, but they can easily take your life by using some spells and talismans, and now you are much weaker than them, if you meet someone from the Xiuzhen family in the assessment, try not to have a head-on conflict with them without understanding the other party's methods." ”

"Yes, Daddy, Hail made a note of it."

Zhao Lengfei was very confident in his strength, but he was not arrogant enough to think that he had the strength to compete with those young people of the Xiuzhen family, after seeing the mortal-level thunder fire talisman played by Yu Huaqing, he knew that the methods of cultivators could not be inferred by common sense.

"Also, don't be too good-hearted, after all, it's an assessment and selection, anyone is your opponent, even in the face of the weak, there is no need for sympathy, since they chose to participate in this assessment, they should have the consciousness of being eliminated, if you don't shoot at them, they will shoot at you, you should understand the principle of the law of the jungle, mercy can only be used on those who will never pose a threat to themselves, not on their opponents."

When Zhao Lengfei was on the earth in his previous life, he preached harmony and democracy, fairness and justice, honesty and fraternity everywhere in his life, and the weak needed help and sympathy, so there was almost no concept of the law of the jungle in his heart.

"It seems that my father knows his character very well, and every word is pointed at his biggest weakness." Zhao Lengfei couldn't help but think that he could listen to his father's words with an open mind and keep them firmly in mind.

The south gate of Xuanyin City, which had not been opened for many years, was opened early this morning, and countless teenagers who participated in the apprenticeship assessment poured out like a wave, and Zhao Lengfei and his father were also caught in this crowd and went out of the south gate.

Outside the south gate is an open space more than ten times larger than the south square of Xuanyin City, there are several rows of buildings on one side of the open space, and in the center is a huge stone platform built of white boulders.

The surging crowd bypassed the stone platform a hundred and ten paces away like flowing water meeting pebbles, and everyone who approached the stone platform felt as if there was an invisible barrier there, so that they could not move forward a single bit, but could only choose to bypass it.

Most outsiders don't know what this invisible barrier is, but the original inhabitants of Xuanyin City all know it, this is a barrier derived from the formation, it is the simplest of the formation, its function is only to isolate ordinary people, cultivators can use mana to see this barrier with their eyes, if they wrap their body with mana, they can enter it regardless of the level of cultivation, and no matter how deep the internal force is, martial artists can't see this barrier and enter inside.

Although the barricades around the stone platform occupy a lot of space, the clearing is wide enough that even if people continue to pour out of the south gate, the clearing still does not look crowded.

Zhao Lengfei followed his father to a place on the left side of the clearing and stopped, looking at the crowd that was still pouring out of the south gate endlessly, he couldn't help but ask: "Daddy, doesn't it mean that there are only a few thousand people who can successfully sign up and come to participate in the assessment and selection, and it is impossible for there to be so many people including the family members who accompanied them, looking at this, there are more than three and a half million people." ”

"The previous Xuanshui Gate has attracted nearly a million people to watch, and less than one-tenth of the teenagers and their families have participated in the assessment, and a large part of these people are the original residents of Xuanyin City, and there are people who want to come here to collect assessment information." Zhao Qingshuang explained.

After an hour, the south gate finally stopped entering, and the bustling crowd dispersed in groups in this open space, waiting for the assessment to begin.

"Ahem..."A throat-clearing cough sounded from the stone platform in the center of the clearing, the sound was not loud, but like a magical shockwave, it instantly swept through the entire clearing, making everyone who spoke stop, and their eyes involuntarily looked at the stone platform in the center of the clearing.

I saw a middle-aged man in gold dressed walking out of the dozens of people on the stage, looking at the middle-aged man's face and skin up close, that is, the appearance of thirty or forty years old, but looking at his body movements from a distance, he looked like an old man in his fifties and sixties.

The middle-aged man in gold took two steps forward, and scanned the crowd in the clearing around him with a slight turn of his face.

"It's amazing." The other party was just a glance, but Zhao Lengfei felt that he had been stared at by that person's eyes for a long time, and at the moment when he was swept by that gaze, it seemed that everything about himself was known by the other party.

Zhao Lengfei was very far away from the stone platform, and he couldn't even see the other party's appearance very clearly, but the other party's vast and deep eyes were imprinted in his heart very clearly at this moment.

"It's... Is this a real master of cultivation? Zhao Lengfei muttered in his heart.

"Friends, today is the day when the outer gate of Xuanshui Gate accepts disciples from the outside world, and the old man Qiu Jizi, the master of the outer gate of Xuanshui Gate, welcomes your arrival on behalf of all the disciples of Xuanshui Gate." The middle-aged man in gold said unhurriedly, contrary to his vicissitudes of life, his voice was ethereal and loud, without a trace of old appearance, and his clear voice spread throughout the entire clearing, making people feel relieved when they heard it.

"There are more than 2,700 teenagers and more than 6,000 young people who participated in the assessment and selection this time, which is a lot more than the previous assessment, so the difficulty of this assessment will also increase, and I hope you will do what you can."

"All the children who participated in the youth assessment below went to the east to receive the props for this assessment, and the children who participated in the youth assessment went to the west to collect them. As for the others, please do not move yet, especially the family members who accompany you, I will make other arrangements later. ”

"Daddy, Hail is gone." Zhao Lengfei looked at his father and said.

"Go ahead, behave well."

After walking a long way to the east of the clearing, Zhao Lengfei saw a circle surrounded by a long table, and around the long table, many teenagers were receiving a gray cloth bag with the identity card given when they registered.

The contents of the cloth bag seemed to be very heavy, and several thin teenagers were obviously struggling to pick up the cloth bag, and some even couldn't grasp the cloth bag and dropped it on the ground, which made the Xuanshui Sect disciples who released the bag laugh for a while.

Zhao Lengfei lined up for a while, and it was his turn, he handed over the identity card made by Elder Wang in his hand, followed by a Xuanshui Sect disciple wearing green clothes and a red face, who was about thirty years old, and the red-faced disciple looked at the jade plate handed over by Zhao Lenghai, and then looked at Zhao Lengfei's height, and suddenly showed a trace of surprise in his eyes.

While returning the identity card to Zhao Lengfei, he said to the other person beside him: "Senior Brother Xu, can you prepare assessment props for a ten-year-old boy this time?" ”

"The assessment props used by ten-year-olds? I heard that a ten-year-old boy passed the registration this time, and it seems that there is a set of assessment props specially prepared for him, I will help you find it, what, the boy is here? The young man next to him, known as Senior Brother Xu, turned his head to look at him while rummaging through a large pile of cloth bags behind him.

"Huh? It doesn't look like he's only ten years old. The young man surnamed Xu was also a little surprised when he saw Zhao Lengfei's appearance, after all, Zhao Lengfei was much taller than children of the same age, and some people believed that he was thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Found it."

The young man surnamed Xu grabbed a much smaller cloth bag from the large pile of cloth bags in the middle, and with a sly smile on his face, he casually handed it to Zhao Lengfei.

"Take it, the assessment rules and the props used are all in it, but this thing is heavy, be careful to hurt your foot." After the young man finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Lengfei tightly and took the cloth bag, as if he wanted to see Zhao Lengfei's joke.

After the cloth bag was in his hands, Zhao Lengfei's arm sank down slightly, which was indeed a bit weighty, but it was really not heavy for him, only forty pounds, and it was one-fifth of the weight he carried when he was training at home, and it was not as heavy as the weight he took off in the morning. Zhao Lengfei walked to the side with a cloth bag in one hand, and his understatement made the young man surnamed Xu look stupid.

Zhao Lengfei walked to a place where there were not many people, he opened the cloth bag, and there was a palm-sized piece of paper in the cloth bag, a bamboo whistle, and a sandbag with two shoulder straps that could be carried on the back, and the content and rules of the first assessment were written on the front of the paper, and the assessment content was very simple, carrying this bag of sand on your back, and arriving somewhere within five hours, you would be qualified, and then you could participate in the second assessment.

There are Xuanshuimen disciples along the way, don't worry about getting lost, there is no danger, the less time is used, the better the results, if someone can't hold on halfway, blowing the bamboo whistle will have Xuanshuimen disciples to send them away, which also means losing the qualification to continue the assessment.

Zhao Lengfei looked at the map on the back of the paper again, the whole journey was about thirty miles, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a faint smile, as his father expected.

Zhao Lengfei has been wearing those weight-bearing training almost every day for most of the past six months, and he has long been accustomed to this weight, not to mention that he has also practiced zama and running with heavier things on his back, weight-bearing running is like a common thing for him, although the distance of this assessment is longer than when he trained, but he is also confident in his physical strength, and there is no problem at all with his strength to complete this assessment in a very short time.

Maybe this is an opportunity for himself to achieve better results than those children of the Xiuzhen family, this thought flashed in Zhao Lengfei's mind, and then he denied it, his young age is already eye-catching enough, and winning the first place again will definitely become the target of public criticism, that is only bad for himself, it is not good, it is better to keep a low profile.

"This first assessment is quite fair, the weight of the sandbag should be linked to age, my own bag is much smaller than other teenagers, and other people's sandbags are afraid to weigh fifty or sixty pounds." Zhao Lengfei thought in his heart.

However, the facts are not exactly the same as Zhao Lenghai's imagination, the weight of the sandbag is indeed linked to age, and the number of catties is set to twice the age of the assessor, that is, the heaviest sandbag received by other teenagers is only thirty-two catties, Zhao Lenghai's sandbag has already been secretly tampered with, and it looks smaller than others', but it is the heaviest one.

The young man surnamed Xu had already known that Zhao Lenghai's sandbag had been tampered with, and it was said that a high-level disciple of the outer gate suspected that Zhao Lengfei was cheating on his age and deliberately wanted to rectify Zhao Lenghai, they didn't think that Zhao Lengfei could complete the first assessment with a forty-pound sandbag on his back, so the tone and expression of the young man surnamed Xu after seeing Zhao Lengfei had always been strange, but unfortunately Zhao Lengfei didn't know anything about it at all.

After all the teenagers had finished receiving their things, an old man wearing the costume of the Xuanshui Gate consul stood up and explained the rules of this assessment, and after explaining, the old man asked the teenagers twice if there were any problems, and seeing that no one raised objections, the old man began to command the other disciples to take the teenagers to a corner of the open space.

"Put on your sandbags on your back, and walk along this road all the way to the end of the first assessment, there will be a low-level disciple in white every half mile on the road to guide the way, don't take the wrong path, don't try to copy any shortcuts, stand up, and wait for the elders to send a signal to start." The old man pointed to a fairly wide mountain road at the edge of the clearing, and the young men stood at the intersection one by one at his request.

After a while, a brightly colored goldfinch flew in, and the goldfinch fell on the old man's shoulder like a spirit, "Squeak..." ”
